    I drove over an hour to meet up with some old friends, so I made a reservation. A couple of us got there early, and we sat at the bar. I mentioned to the bartender that we had a reservation and she just said ok, didn’t ask for a name or anything. The reservation said to check in with the hostess. There was no hostess, only a sign saying to seat yourself. It was a Tuesday, so we probably didn’t need a reservation. So I didn’t think too much about checking in and let it go. When the rest of our party got there, we asked if we could move to a table. The bartender asked us to close out, so we did and we moved to a table. There were two female servers taking tables. They took every table around us, actively avoiding making eye contact with us as we tried to get service. One actually walked to the far end of the room so she wouldn’t have to walk past us. Finally my friend got up and asked. I could feel the eye roll from across the room. The server brushed past my friend, acting like we just asked her for the world. I was shocked at how blatantly rude they both were. We were at the table a good 15 minutes before my friend asked. After a while longer a guy come over and was our server. He was good but the evening had a damper on it and we ended up just getting appetizers. I wish we had just stayed at the bar or gone somewhere else. I was so excited to get together with everyone and the nasty attitude of those two took away from spending time with the people I went to see. It was uncomfortable to be there and I would never tell anyone to go eat here.

    This is a Bar, not Restaurant. My teenage daughter and 81 year old mother got carded at the door. However, the food was very good.

    We sat down waited for chips and salsa that never came while the other tables got theirs as soon as they sat down. It was my birthday and it was kind of embarrassing how horrible the service was. If you are not white you will not be given great service.

    We ordered regular margaritas, flavored margaritas and mocktail margaritas. All tasted terrible. They did not seem super busy, but it took a long time to get our drinks, food and check.
